Bill 13,717 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Surprised to see so many prepared to leave Ryan Jack out of a starting lineup, considering he was one of the key cogs in the wheel last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either Jack or Kamara, and most are going with Kamara as he has looked a better all-round player than Jack to most it would seem. Would you have Jack in front of Kamara @Bill or perhaps you can fit him in somewhere else? Instead of Davis? SG clearly likes Jack a lot so it will be interesting to see if a role can be found to include him in the side. We have a lot of options and this is before we try to find a place for Docherty, Halliday, McCrorie etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P 4 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 4 - 3 - 2 -1 McGregor Tav - Goldson - Katic - Barisic Jack - Davis - Kamara Arfield - Murphy Morelos Don't know enough about Aribo to bring him over Jack at this moment in time. For me, Jack (playing in the defence midfield three) allows Tav to get forward to great effect. If you take him out of that position, I am not sure that Kamara has the discipline to cover for those forward runs. The other toss ups are Ojo/Arfield, Murphy/ Jones and Barisic/Flanagan. Still hopeful that we can get to see the bandaged warrior from Osijek in a Rangers strip at some point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Barisic goal against that pub team in Gibraltar. When the league play starts he is gonna get tossed around like a puppy's chew toy. Flanagan lays the wood....Barisic doesn't. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GK) McGregor | Foderingham (RB) Tavernier | Flanagan | Polster - (RCB) Goldson | Edmundson - (LCB) Katic | XX - (LB) Barasic | Halliday (DM) Davis | McCrorie (RCM) Kamara | Jack - (LCM) Aribo | Docherty (RF/RAM) Arfield | Candeias | Hastie - (LF/LAM) Ojo | Stewart | Jones | Murphy (ST) Morelos | Defoe | Rudden (?) Full-back looks light, and lacking quality. Edit: Forgot Polster. Another CB. Another central midfielder; although need a priority as we can cover. Edit: Docherty! Right-sided attacking player, maybe; although those six players could interchange. Edit: I was too Hasty, and forgot... Hastie. *Gets coat* I'm sure you will agree that Docherty is really a right centre attacking mid. Actually he could be the surprise package. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as an industrious, box-to-box player, arriving into the box; which is perfect for those LCM/RCM positions we employ. I agree he could be a really good option for us this season. I hope it works out for him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh difficult one to call but I’ve always seen him as a box to box player too. Certainly get the benefit of his tremendous fitness that way. Having said that it’s early in his career and I can see why @alexscottislegend suggests playing him in that position with the likes of Davis, Kamara and Jack taking on the greater responsibility of dictating the play. He’s also stronger going forward than defensively I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGaryValentine 85 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 i think the best thing about this thread is that there is so many options now in our squad depending on who we play against. gerrard has done a great job this summer so far. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,199 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) McGregor Tav - Goldson - Helander - Barisic Davis - Kamara Ojo - Arfield - Jones New Biggest difeerence is that there are lots of options for different types of games. My XI above would be for a game against Hamilton (A)......Aribo was difficult to leave out. You could probably select 3 or 4 different sides/formations and you'd be confident of them doing a job. Over to SG&Co to make the right calls at the right time. Edited July 12, 2019 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first link is the whole season and second link is first half of the season at Shrewsbury. On this evidence it's hard to deny he actually looks far more suited to playing further forward, his defensive and passing stats are surprisingly poor! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
